Muscle Disuse Atrophy
Regular contractile activity plays a critical role in maintaining skeletal muscle morphological integrity and physiological function. If the muscle is forced to stop contraction, such as during limb immobilization (IM), the IGF/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway that normally stimulates protein synthesis and inhibits proteolysis will be suppressed, whereas the FoxO-controlled protein degradation pathways such as ubiquitin-proteolysis and autophagy/mitophagy will be activated and dominate.
